"Tonight's game was a step closer," said Head Coach Elaine Elliott. "This game was better than the first one. We did a better job of playing different combinations and I thought the kids did a better job in most aspects. We do have a lot to work on, but everybody does. I think we have a chance to be a better team and we have to keep working towards that. I certainly feel good about the potential we have," said Elliott.
